To provide IUPUI students and staff with information relevant to the space controlled by IUPUI and the space controlled by IPFW, as well as other relevant safety and security policies, available resources, programs and information, IU provides the annual safety report safety and security policies for both IUPUI and IPFW. In accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) and the security-related requirements of the Higher Education Opportunity Act, the Indiana University Police Department (IUPD) on each Indiana (IU) campus produces an annual Security Report. This report was revised on April 3, 2017 to reflect the updated 2016 Annual Safety Report issued for the Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne campus.
Please note that IU's annual safety report statistics did not change as we had already confirmed the correct numbers with the host campus prior to publication and had anticipated these updates. This section of the Annual Safety Report discloses the procedures, practices and programs IU has implemented to keep its students and staff safe and its facilities secure.
Reporting Crimes and Other Emergencies
If you are a victim or witness of a crime, but do not wish to pursue action within the University system or the criminal justice system, you may choose to make a report and request that it remain confidential. Using the information provided in the confidential police report, the University can: keep an accurate record of the number of incidents involving students, staff and visitors; determine whether there is a crime pattern related to a particular location, method or attacker; and warn the University community of potential dangers. The reports so submitted may be counted and disclosed in the annual statistical disclosure for the University.
Additional information about who at the university is eligible for a CSA can be found. However, if they deem it appropriate, these counselors may inform students of the University's policies and procedures regarding voluntarily reporting crimes and seeking help if they are victims of a crime (see above on Voluntary, confidential report).
Timely Warnings (Crime Notices) about Crimes
Certain information and details may be requested for public inspection as provided in Indiana Code 5-14-3 and as described in the Daily Crime Log section below. For example, if an assault occurs between two students who disagree, there may not be an ongoing threat to other members of the university community and notice of the crime is unlikely to be distributed. IU-Notify is commonly used to send crime notifications to members of the university community.

Emergency Notifications (Emergency Alerts)
Report Date When deciding whether to issue a Crime Notice, the campus IUPD chief or their designee will investigate the facts of each incident and consider when and where the incident occurred, when the incident was reported, and any other information available to the IUPD. Crime notices are generally written and issued by the campus IUPD chief or their designee. Any details that could reveal the victim's identity are withheld from crime reports.
For members of the IU community, it is suggested that you provide the best phone number to reach you and an email address to receive alerts and notifications. The University will provide proper follow-up information as it becomes available and as appropriate.
